Intelligence from Sunagakure

That glance lasted only a fleeting moment.

Kanami then looked away again.

He couldn't tell whether he had truly been seen through.

"You'll always have moments of carelessness, and that time... will be when my wife Hinata Hyuga, returns to my side."

The Toneri sat alone beside the Giant Tenseigan, murmuring softly.

His empty eyes did not prevent him from using the Giant Tenseigan to spy on Kanami's family.

In Amegakure, the Akatsuki Organization has also secretly begun its operations.

Two days later, Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage's Office.

Tsunade frowned as she looked at the intelligence report that Sand Village had just sent her.

The intelligence suggests that the Akatsuki Organization will likely mobilize all its members to begin a capture operation against the Tailed Beast.

However, they did not choose to attack Konoha.

Instead, they chose to prioritize finding and capturing Tailed Beast that had escaped into the wild.

The report also revealed that members of the Akatsuki Organization were discovered entering the country at the border of the Land of Wind.

Clearly, this is more than just intelligence; it's a signal that Sunagakure wants to ask Konoha for help.

"Yamato, Sai, you two quickly go and inform Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others to hold a brief emergency meeting."

"Yes."

As Tsunade finished speaking, a response came from the shadows.

After waiting for about five minutes, Yamato and Sai brought Kakashi, Might Guy, Kurenai, and the others to the Hokage Conference Room.

Tsunade had been waiting in the conference room for a while, holding the intelligence sent by Sunagakure.

When Kakashi and the others saw the serious expression on Tsunade's face, their expressions immediately tightened.

It seems something bad has happened again.

A bad feeling rose in everyone's hearts at the same time.

Although they had already been mentally prepared from Yamato and Sai's tone before they came.

But he was still taken aback when he saw Tsunade's serious expression.

"The Mysterious Organization we investigated earlier has begun to move; some of its members have already appeared on the border of the Land of Wind."

Tsunade handed the intelligence report to Kakashi.

"Their goal is clearly the Tailed Beast, and the fact that Sunagakure sent us this crucial information shows their trust in Konoha, and at the same time, they are asking us for help."

The anxiety that had been building up inside everyone finally died.

As expected, something bad has happened again, and this time it involves the Tailed Beast!

Throughout the history of the Shinobi World, anything involving Tailed Beast has never been a good thing.

"Lord Hokage, should we go and help Sunagakure?"

Asuma Sarutobi was behind them, spoke up and asked.

This was also a question that some of the Jonin present wanted to ask.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, Sunagakure betrayed Konoha.

That incident led to the death of Asuma Sarutobi's father, Hiruzen Sarutobi from being the son of the Hokage to a regular Jonin.

Whether it was due to the indirect revenge for his father's murder or from the perspective of the village, Asuma Sarutobi harbored hostility towards Sunagakure.

However, since Tsunade, as the Fifth Hokage, had agreed to this cooperation Chunin exam, he had no reason to overstep his bounds.

After all, it was all for the benefit of Konoha, to consolidate Konoha's position through the Chunin exam, and at the same time to probe the strength of other villages.

But now it's different; now we're actively helping Sunagakure.

He couldn't help the village that had killed his father.

He wished the Sunagakure would be destroyed.

Tsunade looked calmly at Asuma Sarutobi.

"I know you've been feeling bad all this time. The two advisors back then didn't do well either, they didn't even ask Sunagakure for compensation, but this time it's different."

"The other side's Kage has long since changed. The Fifth Kazekage is Gaara. Since what happened before, Gaara has been very friendly to Konoha."

"If we, as allies, were to withdraw now, which ninja village would dare to form an alliance with us in the future?"

Although Tsunade's words were reasonable, well-founded, and logically sound.

However, Jonin of the Jonin present were still dissatisfied.

"I don't think we need an ally like Sunagakure right now. Our village made a name for itself after being attacked by Cloud Village last time, and even the Akatsuki Organization doesn't dare to come to Konoha."

A man wearing small sunglasses spoke up.

This person is Aburame Torune.

After Danzō's death, he returned home to find his father.

However, not long after, he was approached by the Purge Squad formed by Tsunade. But in the end, they did not actually eliminate him. Instead, they made him Anbu or a regular Jonin.

Having grown tired of Root, Aburame Torune ultimately chose to become a regular Jonin.

Tsunade nodded. "You're right. They don't dare to attack Konoha, but it's only temporary. The Akatsuki Organization's goal is to collect all the Tailed Beast."

"Our village now possesses three Tailed Beast, more than any other village. That organization is only afraid of the Tailed Beast ' power, but it hasn't given up on capturing Tailed Beast."

"Once the One-Tail of Sunagakure is captured, it's equivalent to capturing their Kazekage as well, which would be a devastating blow to everyone in Sunagakure."

At this point, she took a few steps and looked at everyone. "If we don't help, then the Akatsuki Organization will most likely succeed in acquiring a Tailed Beast, and the other members of the organization will definitely go and capture Tailed Beast as well."

We only have three Tailed Beast, but the Shinobi World has a total of Nine Tailed Beasts.

As she slowly explained this logic to everyone.

Most people realized what was happening and nodded.

If we don't help now and the enemy captures the Tailed Beast, the final outcome is predictable.

The Akatsuki Organization, possessing the power of multiple Tailed Beast, will ultimately choose to attack Konoha.

"Asuma, we all know about the conflict between Sunagakure and you, but sometimes there's no other way for the sake of the village."

"If Hiruzen Sarutobi were alive, he would have made the same choice."

Aburame Torune placed his hand on Asuma Sarutobi's shoulder to comfort him.

Of course, he was wearing black gloves.

Otherwise, the poisonous insects inside his body would have paralyzed Asuma Sarutobi.

Asuma Sarutobi clenched his fists but said nothing more.

Tsunade knew about his situation and hadn't originally intended to call him, but she hadn't thought that far ahead when she gave instructions to Yamato and Sai.

She glanced briefly at the Jonin present and asked, "Has anyone volunteered because they believe they are capable of leading this mission to rescue Sunagakure?"

After she finished speaking, everyone remained silent for a few seconds.

Just then, a passionate voice rang out, accompanied by a smile as bright as Flash.

"Kakashi! Let's go together!"

Kakashi let out a soft sigh beneath his black mask.

His original intention was to slack off; he hadn't even finished watching the Paradise Publishing" that he bought!

Seeing this, Tsunade smiled and nodded, "Alright! Guy, Kakashi! It's up to you two! I believe you can definitely complete the mission!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

They both replied at the same time.

Might Guy shouted loudly, while Kakashi was weak and listless, looking like his body had been completely drained.
